Ok so let’s be real. This post was going to be a pink theme but once I started to add the pink stickers they started to camouflage with the pink background. Unsure what I mean, when you look at my photos, look for the pink swan. Can’t find it? That’s because it’s camouflaged into the pink background.
So let’s go with the pink background theme instead.
So what are we doing?
Today I am doing a scrapbook page in my A4 art book. This is a super fun way to be creative and test themes out for when you do the real scrapbooking in an album. It helps you get comfortable with the entire process.
When scrapbooking you don’t have to use themes, but if you are new to scrapbooking it just makes it easier to decorate when you have a theme in mind. Also for themes, you need to see if you have the supplies needed for a theme.
So let’s begin with a blank page:
Then select your pink papers that you want to use. Tip: Select more paper styles because normally you need more than what you think you need.
Now do some funky cut outs and glue on the page:
I have to say I am pretty impressed with my cut outs. Just remember though the design of the paper may get covered later on with stickers. But it’s still cool to play with. I feel like this looks good. A good starting point.
Now for the fun, add stickers. As I said above, I tried to add pink stickers but it just didn’t look as good. So I went with a range of pictures and stickers. Half way through I thought it doesn’t look good and this happens in scrapbooking. So just keep going because by the end of it I do like it.
Here I have added stickers (but it’s not the last step so keep reading to see what else I add):
Did you see the swan?
Now I got a bit excited and thought why not add some decorations as well? See, I told you I wasn’t finished. I think decorations really add a bit of flair. I used tape to hold them on the page.
So I added a pink feather, some different coloured roses in different spots and a cute little pale pink beanie. And that’s the finished product. So did it inspire you to create your own scrapbooking art book?
I honestly feel satisfied and enjoyed the end result. I really thought I was going to stop after I added the pink stickers. But the great part about scrapbooking is, you can always change your design part way through and no one will know you had a different design thought process at the beginning to what it looks like at the end.
So if you would like to know where I got these scrapbooking supplies I have included the links below from AliExpress.com. As mentioned at the start of the post, I am an affiliate of AliExpress.com but that’s because I really do shop there for a lot of my hobby needs. They have such a vast range to browse through.
Some of the links aren’t exactly what I have pictured above but they are close to what I purchased.
